Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
From your history there could be a couple of differential diagnosis which one can consider.
1) Inflamation/Infection: Even in absence on
lymph nodes/lumps, there could be an infection or
cellulitis which could be leading to this kind of symptoms.
2) Ortopedic cause: Many times
cervical spine spondolysis may also lead to this kind symptoms.
It would be best to get it examined by a doctor who can assess your local aea of tenderness if there is any
redness or swelling. You should also get an
MRI spine done in cervical area to make sure that it is not orthopedic cause of pain
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
